Pretty awesome. Personally, their insurance company should give them a kickback for that years policy. Would go a long way to NOT having to pay for complete losses the next time around. I'm really suprised that on these flood planes that homes aren't built on raised land to begin with.

Waste of money, the gov will bail out the people who lacked the means to protect their own property so why spend your own money to do it.

OK I don't really believe that but you get my point.

Very likely don't have flood ins, and even if they do prob doesn't cover contents.
